Post by: valle on December 13, 2012, 08:47:31 am: hi guys

thanks :happy2:

Post by: MC71 on December 13, 2012, 08:57:59 am: ^^^^ No import Duty/Tax is due on these items coming from this region at this price (Hong Kong). No duty is applied to items below £135 although car parts are liable for duty at 4.5% plus 20% VAT but I don't think these are "technically" classed as car parts (might be under accessories) and therefore no duty is applied. I've ordered items on 4-5 separate occasions from Boldspoet.com and always recieved the goods within about a week and never get held up in Customs. Don't expect to get that quickly over the festive period though.

:happy2:

Post by: valle on December 13, 2012, 09:02:21 am: Oh, thanks for quick response.
So i will have to ask some of you guys, when i will order something. Better pay shiping cost from usa- UK- slovenia, than pay tax in our country ...
We have to pay tax on any item , that is more than 25€, from countries outside the EU .

Thanks

Ah I see. Sorry, didn't realise that you weren't over here. There's a good duty calculator that I use and can be altered for any country and any currency and amount. Unable to copy their address over from my phone though :confused:

Will post it for you later or I can PM it over to you, saves spamming this thread.

Post by: valle on December 13, 2012, 11:27:53 am: That would be great. Just pm' me.
Yes i know, i always forget to tell , that i am from slovenia. But i am ordering all parts that i need , either from UK or Germany.
Here in slovenia are prices x2...shame...
Ok, enough offtopic...
